Postdoctoral research​ position in the theory of​ modern quantum algorithms

Posted on by

Applications are invited for ​a postdoctoral research​ position in the theory of​ modern quantum algorithms. The position will be held at ​Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (​Skoltech), Moscow, Russia. ​The start date is flexible but we would like to fill these position(s) as soon as possible. The successful applicant will work in the research laboratory structure led by Prof Jacob Biamonte in the general area of quantum computation, with a focus on quantum enhanced algorithms and error mitigation on experimental devices. The overarching project goals include: Develop, optimize, and benchmark variational quantum algorithms (e.g. QAOA and VQE) Implement quantum information processing tasks using trapped ions and optical networks available[…]

Deep Physics MSc Projects — Skoltech MSc class of 2020 

Posted on by

We still have two openings to advise MSc students.   Deep learning and quantum computing. We have several ongoing and new projects to select from that apply deep learning to understand physics.  We also use statistical mechanics and quantum theory as a mathematical tool to understand e.g. the informatic properties of deep neural networks.  For example, quantum computers provide new classes of neural networks that appear to be exponentially difficult to simulate using classical computers; on going work is geared towards refining quantum deep learning algorithms.   Applications of deep learning to predict properties of quantum systems Enhancement of deep learning algorithms using real-world quantum computers and programable quantum simulators[…]

Following the success of last years MIT PhD Student interns (Dax Koh and Mason Biamonte), Skoltech Deep Quantum Labs is seeking MIT student applicants to the MIT-MISTI summer exchange program. Students should be pursuing a thesis in Quantum information theory, quantum information processing and associated topics Stochastic physics, complex networks and associated topics as they relate to quantum theory Machine learning applied to physics Applicants must be currently enrolled at MIT.  Successful applicants will join the diverse international lab lead by Prof Jacob Biamonte.  The lab has ongoing projects related to the theory of tensor networks, machine learning applied to quantum physics, using quantum computers to accelerate machine learning tasks,[…]

Postdoctoral Fellowships – Skoltech (Modern Quantum Theory)

Posted on by

Deep Quantum Labs is in the ongoing process of a expansion planned over the next several years as we continue to establish resident based international leadership in several core areas of theory related to quantum physics, the physics of information and with some specific focus on (i) simulation, (ii) quantum enhanced machine learning and (iii) the simulation of quantum systems using classical computers. We are seeking Research Scientist(s) to join our lab (Level I, II or III depending on experience) with some particular focus in this call on young applicants just finishing their PhD’s.  We offer internationally competitive compensation, including a housing allowance (international applicants), medical insurance and a sign-on[…]
